[Verse]
Em
I'll be the late night lady you won't recognise
I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise
I'd read your future but it's written in the past
Take a good look might be your last
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Don't try to show me
C
Cause you don't know me
Am
Stay away
[Chorus]
E A G
I can be wilder than the wind
C E
119 miles an hour
A G
I'm in a whole other dimension
C E
Dancing doubles on the floor
A G
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
C Em
But I'm stone cold sober
[Verse]
Em
You're telling me something
But there's nothing cheap as words
I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
Excuse me mister I've got other things to do
Than to stand here listening to you
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Stop talking at my face
C
Take a rocket out to space
Am
And stay away
[Chorus]
